Communication graduate Kayla McLeod leveraged the University’s industry connections to forge an exciting career in media.

"Victoria University was a great option for me as it presented diverse and relevant units to fit my career goals. What I loved about my course was the practical experience that I gained whilst studying.

VU staff have great relationships with industry and are highly experienced in their fields. This played a significant part in me gaining work as an account coordinator at Multi Channel Network. My lecturer advised me of the job opening and put me in touch with the strategic director of the network.

Working in TV, I gained a great insight to the media industry and have worked across some exciting brands, developing campaigns, sponsorship opportunities and placing advertisements on some of our favourite TV shows and channels."

Victoria University (VU) offers merit based scholarships to the highest achieving year 12 students from each of the secondary schools in the western region council areas of Brimbank, Hobson's Bay, Maribyrnong, Melton, Moonee Valley and Wyndham. Each school will be offered 2 scholarships: for the highest achieving year 12 student who enrols in a VU Higher Education (HE) undergraduate course; and for the highest achieving year 12 student who enrols in a VU Vocational Education (VE) course.

Eligibility

Applicants must: be Australian citizens, permanent residents or New Zealand citizens; be currently enrolled in year 12 at one of the participating schools and register to be included in the school's ranking; apply to study and be offered a place at VU; enrol to study full-time in an undergraduate degree or a VE certificate, diploma or advanced diploma; and be ranked by their secondary school based on success in internal assessments for year 12 studies.

Communication graduate Kayla McLeod leveraged the University’s industry connections to forge an exciting career in media.

"Victoria University was a great option for me as it presented diverse and relevant units to fit my career goals. What I loved about my course was the practical experience that I gained whilst studying.

VU staff have great relationships with industry and are highly experienced in their fields. This played a significant part in me gaining work as an account coordinator at Multi Channel Network. My lecturer advised me of the job opening and put me in touch with the strategic director of the network.

Working in TV, I gained a great insight to the media industry and have worked across some exciting brands, developing campaigns, sponsorship opportunities and placing advertisements on some of our favourite TV shows and channels."
